About the Odette Patient and Family Advisory Committee (PFAC)
The Odette Patient and Family Advisory Committee (PFAC) was established to engage patients and families and collaborate for quality improvements. Since our inception, we’ve welcomed more than 40 patients and families as members and been involved in countless improvement projects at the Odette Cancer Centre, as well as other system-wide projects to improve the experiences of people with cancer across our city and beyond.
